I am using a Line 6 Helix with my JP-2C, when I use it to send CC messages to change individual features on the amp it works perfectly.

I've done a factory reset of the helix to make sure that all of my previous CC messages aren't conflicting with the program bank changes I am trying to make and started from scratch with a blank Helix preset.

When I try to program it to access any of the factory presets it doesn't change to the program I am expecting.
The Helix has some parameters in it I am not sure how they correspond to the control of the JP-2C as follows:

Knob Parameter Description
2 MIDI Ch Sets the Bank/Program message's MIDI channel (1-16).
When set to "Base", Helix follows the Global MIDI channel, which
is set from the "Global Settings > MIDI/Tempo" page.

3 Bank CC00 Sets the CC#00 (Bank MSB) value. Select "Off" if the
receiving device shouldn't respond to Bank MSB.

4 Bank CC32 Sets the CC#32 (Bank LSB) value. Select "Off" if the
receiving device shouldn't respond to Bank LSB.

5 Program Sets the Program Change (PC) value. Select "Off" if you
only want to send a Bank MSB and/or Bank LSB message.

So an example of what I've tried is to send a program change for the clean channel on bank 1

Knob Parameter Description
2 MIDI Ch Set to 1
3 Bank CC00 Set to 0
4 Bank CC32 Set to off
5 Program Set to 1 or 16 etc.

An example of what I've tried is to send a program change for the crunch channel on bank 1

Knob Parameter Description
2 MIDI Ch Set to 1
3 Bank CC00 Set to 0
4 Bank CC32 Set to off
5 Program Set to 7 or 22 etc.

Update 1/24/16:
So when I set as follows, I am one number off on the program change i.e. selecting program change 19 on the Helix executes program change 20 on the JP-2C, is this because the JP-2C
programs go from 1-127 and the Helix program value goes from 0-128?

Knob Parameter Description
2 MIDI Ch Set to 1
3 Bank CC00 Set to 0
4 Bank CC32 Set to 0
5 Program Set to 7 or 22 etc.

Any guidance would be appreciated.
